Drinks

1.13

Brunch is a bit of an afterthought here, so an orange juice mimosa is the only choice on offer (for a steep $25), and sadly, the champagne is, too.

Food

4.21

On the other hand, the three-course brunch arrangement is well worth your thirty bucks — there's an obligatory omelette option, but we recommend going straight for one of the many Brazilian meat selections, which are hefty enough to leave you a bit overwhelmed when the dessert arrives shortly thereafter.

Service

2.50

Mimosa service is a bit slow at first, which is unfortunate since even the (very good!) first course takes its time to arrive. Things did pick up toward the end of, and well beyond, the stated hour-and-a-half limit, although unfortunately our appetite for flutes of orange juice had dimmed considerably by the third course.

Ambiance

1.58

The Grill eventually reached a full lunch room, although as far as we could tell, our table was the only one opting for the bottomless drink option. The interior's nicely adorned, but the hushed serenity feels almost haunting.

The bellinis and mimosas have a respectably small tinge, and we appreciate the straight champagne option, but it's really the espresso martinis — six different options, freshly made at a cart wheeled over to your table — that salvage the price.

Han Palace Review

Georgetown

3.11

Han Palace offers a full dim-sum experience; we found Option A quite filling at $38 a person, but if you're feeling particularly extravagant, you can upgrade to Option B and get Peking Duck for brunch.

It's a good thing the $30 bottomless deal comes with the freedom to pour your own champagne and multiple flavors, because we're 99 percent sure the "orange juice" was SunnyD.

We're like the postmen. We brunch in rain, sleet, or snow
